Hubby and I went to Gade Farm yesterday, but didn’t find any heirloom or organic veggies. It is still early in the season, though. Their flowers looked really nice, however!

Gade Farm is a century farm, which means it’s been owned by the same family for more than 100 years. That’s fantastic, and I would really like to support it. They didn’t have any strawberry plants out yet, though the man working the cash register (in full Gade Farm regalia, so he must have been an owner) said to check back in a few weeks.

Later on in the day we headed back to the garden, and there was Jenny again working, along with some other folks. We even met Lev, the guy who’s plot we turned up by accident. We think he will be an interesting neighbor. Make of that what you will 🙂

Then we cleared out more space to plant our three remaining strawberry plants. We’re unsure as to whether it’s a bit too early, but it’s not supposed to get below 40F this whole week so we’re hoping it’ll be ok.

Then we decided to mulch them, just in case.

I’d say we’re about halfway done turning up the plot now – and we still have lots more things to plant. Plus K bought some early growing jalapeños at the co-op today, so we’ll have to plant that. In a few weeks, we’ll buy some tomato plants and eggplants and zucchini (already started) and I think we’ll be done.

Now I want to make some nifty seed markers. I’m gonna see if there’s any cool ideas on teh Internets.
